ST. WILLIAMS, ON – A year-and-a-half after launching as a contract brewing operation, Hometown Brew Co. has secured a location for a bricks-and-mortar facility in Norfolk County.
Hometown has announced a partnership with Long Point Eco-Adventures, a wildlife preserve and eco-tourist destination near the town of St. Williams on the shore of Lake Erie, and will be opening a brewery and taproom on the site in the spring of 2019.
Founded by Dusty Zamecnik, Tommy DeVos, and Matt DeVos, Hometown currently brews its beers – including Blue County Blueberry Saison, Southern Ale, and Southern Light – at Ramblin’ Road Brewery in nearby La Salette.
For more details, see this article in the Simcoe Reformer, and the Hometown Brew Co. Facebook page.

- Greg C. is drinking a Not A Word Spoken - Apricot IPA by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinExactly what I expect from a hazy IPA made with Simcoe & Citra hops and laced with apricot - i.e. big, bright, juicy, aromatic.
- Greg C. is drinking a Stout by Big Drop Brewing Co at King & DufferinThe low abv is betrayed somewhat by the light body, but the flavour is that of a proper pub stout - cocoa, coffee, slight smoky tang. Nice!
- Greg C. is drinking a Vintage Ale (2016) by Fuller, Smith & Turner at King & DufferinPort & plum preserves up front, touch of leather, good balance through the middle, bit warm in the finish.
- Greg C. is drinking an Ikinuki Ungespundetes Kellerbier by Godspeed Brewery at Bar Hop BrewcoGood lager with strong malt base but heavy hit of hops as well. Good body, full but not heavy. A pleasure to drink.
- Greg C. is drinking an After Hours: Raspberry Sour by PEI Brewing Company (Gahan) at King & DufferinSurprised to find this treat from my home province at the LCBO. Very good raspberry sour with natural tasting tart berry flavour.
